Single File: Shepherd's Heard
Listen now
Description
Single File is back and we're talking about a real rager: Shelby, Ohio's Shepherd's Heard and their only record "I Know" b/w "But That's Life." The first sounds like a demented version of The Rascals' "Good Lovin'." The drums and vocals are CRAZY and they're both performed by the same guy, Kim Shepherd, who rightfully named the band after himself since he does most of the work! Kim takes a breather on the flip, "But That's Life", an organ-driven sorta ballad. Man, Jonathan Richman should cover this, since it's his style a few years before he even appears!! A great guitar solo and that familiar 1966 wild mercury sound of the organ. Now BURN IT!!
